I took my Sheltie Cole to the Corner Vet yesterday because his hip was sore from an injury he sustained as a puppy. I am so glad I did. Dr. Nick and his staff were wonderful, the office is very clean, upbeat, happy, and inviting. Everyone was smiling and I could tell they were happy to be there and truly enjoyed helping animals and their owners. I was also really impressed with their care plan for Cole. Other vets told me that steroid shots were the next step in treating his soreness. These shots come with some tough, long-term side effects that I am not ready to accept. Dr. Nick and his staff introduced my to SIX (!) other therapies that we can follow long term that will greatly improve his life without resorting to steroids. I am ecstatic to say the least. After spending quite a bit of time examining Cole, discussing his home environment and lifestyle, and walk through the different care options and costs, I was expecting a sizable bill. It was half of what I am used to paying at my previous vet. I will be bringing all of my animals to Corner Vet from now on.
No amount of "cool" makes up for RUDE. I want to love this vet. The owners have clearly put a lot of thought and energy into a beautiful design for this boutique vet. Overall we enjoyed all the styling details (though the Robert Frost book in the patient room was over the top). We were patient with the supped up Austin-slacker vet tech. Front desk staff was great. We left feeling more clear about our dog's condition and happy to have navigated around the many pushes to upsell us. The deal breaker was how the vet, Dr. Vaughan, treated me when I called to report that our dog picked up fleas from the clinic. We suspect it occurred during the 1.5 hours my dog spent on the rug in the patient room (no traditional vet exam tables here). I called to report the fleas. I thought they may want the information. I was polite. Also hoped they may have some suggestions for ridding our home of a potential flea outbreak. Instead the vet met my concerns with a firm argumentative stance that it was in no way a possibility my dog got fleas from that rug. He was condescending and insulting. I was polite. We will never go back to this vet. Not because we got fleas there --- I do realize this can happen at a vet. Because Dr. Vaughan's attitude sucks.
Extremely good service and great vet. I loved the fact that they don't try to sell me unnecessary things and give great care for a low price.
These guys and gals are great. They care about your animals as much as you do, dont rip you off, and Dr. Wilson makes a great (human) cookie.
Before bringing my pup into Dr. Nicholas Vaughn for a minor shoulder injury, I knew that he was the kind of person who instantly lights up the room. Now I see how naturally his radiance translates to the perspective of animals as well! Within a matter of minutes, Dr. Vaughn became my dog's new favorite person, determined what the issue was with her front shoulder, and gave me some a simple solutions to solve her ailments. Rather than prescribing a bunch of costly meds, he encouraged me to tenderly rub her front shoulder which had been bothering her, every night for about 10 minutes after any high activity. Within a week she was no longer limping and could once again manage long runs with me along Town Lake. Not only did he find a solution to our problem, but he also gave me a quick "Leash Training 101" class, which we embarrassingly needed desperately. Thank you Dr. Vaughn!
